How it Works

The hunt is officially underway! Puzzles are now available and ready to solve. You can download and print your puzzle packet by visiting www.solvingfun.com/cupertino. If you don’t have access to a printer, the Cupertino Library has you covered—they can print a set for you at just 15 cents per page in black and white or 20 cents per page in color.

With a group of friends or family, solve the puzzles at your own pace. Each individual puzzle will lead you to a location where you will find a clue. When you get to the location, look for a sign with bold words on it (sample below). These words are clues for the final puzzle. The signs will not be hidden or buried and are on public land within Cupertino. You will not need to damage anything to find them. Write down the clue you need and leave the clue signs for future solvers. Put together the clues found at each location and figure out the final answer. Submit the final answer for a chance to win a prize!

Here's a quick video on how to play.

Some of the puzzle directions may seem unclear. Figuring out how to solve is often part of the puzzle itself. Try different strategies to solve. If you need help, feel free to go to the hints page or reach out to Solving Fun.

Safety Reminders

The Solving Fun Puzzle Pals and Cupertino want all of our community members to be safe and have fun. Be mindful of all laws and safety regulations as you explore our city. Clues are posted in visible areas and on public property. If you experience an emergency, call 911.
